After I built the Panzer III in 35 scale I noticed that some of the panzer gray colors were either too dark or not the right Hue. I experimented with Tamiya Sasebo Grey IJN XF77 and I noticed that its the right panzer Grey.
I know that I always get hang up on colors and that seems to be my problem, to me if the color its not right I cant do it.
What do you guys think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does it have a overall green cast? I can see two very different shades of grey in the photos. I'm sure that it is just the lighting. The darker of the two colors looks spot on. For panzer grey, I use the MM enamel schwartzgrau rlm 2079. There is a number after the rlm, but it is too faded to make out. I've had to replace many of my Tamiya paints, due to the customs problems.
